EasyBCD with Linux+ Win7, Win8

I have a non-UEFI system with two hard drives installed. The first drive has 4 partitions. The first partition contains Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. The second partition contains the /boot (ext3) filesystem for Scientific Linux 6.1. The third partition is the Linux swap, and the fourth is the Linux root (/). The second hard drive has one partition containing Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit. When I attempt to boot Scientific Linux, the computer restarts and boots into Grub4DOS, then stops at the grub prompt. if I enter configfile /grub/menu.lst it will show the Linux boot menu then continue to boot my Scientific Linux. Why doesn't Grub4DOS automatically load the /grub/menu.lst? I can also enter root (hd0,1) then configfile /grub/menu.lst and it will use the boot menu from my /boot partition, which is ideal if I upgrade the kernel I won't have to modify the menu.lst stored on the Windows partition.

Anybody know why Grub4DOS is misbehaving?

Thanks!
